Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"The Workers' Party of Vietnam and the People's Army of Vietnam had no idea of ​​the industrial strength of an industrial power. With the industrial strength of the United States, it was fully capable of continuously bombing the People's Army of Vietnam. The US military, with complete air superiority, was not afraid of the People's Army of Vietnam gathering, but was afraid of the People's Army of Vietnam's continuous small-scale attacks."

"So the Vietnamese People's Army should avoid large-scale troop concentrations in the plains, which is beneficial to the US military.

Although we don't know the specific plan for this 'Victory Offensive' yet, it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the 'Spring Offensive' earlier this year."

The 1961 "Spring Offensive" dealt a heavy blow to the US military, causing many casualties, but it also caused heavy casualties to the Vietnamese People's Army.

As a result, the Vietnamese People's Army has not launched a decent offensive in the past six months.

"This is the Vietnam People's Army's business. We can only remind them. It's up to them whether they listen or not. We just need to do our own thing."

Mr. Peng spoke.

Chinese generals were dissatisfied with the Vietnam War, which lasted nearly a year, and believed that the Vietnam People's Army had problems in both strategy and tactics.

However, Vietnam has always been under the command of the Soviet military advisory group, so it is not easy for China to intervene too much.

"Are we prepared for the troops requested by the Soviet Union and Vietnam?"

The scale of the war in Indochina continued to expand. After the United States passed a bill to increase its defense budget, the first batch of more than 20,000 US Army troops arrived in Vietnam.

At the same time, the United States quickly began to contact the governments of Southeast Asian countries, aiming to arm these governments and get them to help the United States fight against the communist organizations in Indochina.

Under such changes, the Chinese army was also involved. Although China would not send troops to directly fight the US military, the entry of large-scale air defense and engineering forces into Vietnam was a foregone conclusion.

"That's not a big problem. We've deployed a large number of air defense forces in Guangxi and Yunnan just in case. And for the past three years, half of our engineering corps has been stationed here to build transportation here. So before the Vietnamese People's Army launches its 'Victory Offensive,' there's no problem for our troops to enter Vietnam and carry out their missions."

Deputy Chief of the General Staff Zhang Zhongxun responded, quickly providing a detailed overview of the troops currently stationed in Guangxi and Yunnan, as well as those slated for deployment to Vietnam.

"Comrade Zhang Zhongxun, I think we should add several battalions of surface-to-air missile units to the air defense forces entering Vietnam this time."

Yang Quanwu spoke.

"Missiles, a cutting-edge weapon, require constant combat experience to identify and correct problems. For example, the Red Flag-1 missile, whose problems were discovered during actual combat, was the reason it was able to undergo rapid technical improvements."

"Also, only by continuously using missiles in combat can our troops accumulate more combat experience.

Some US reconnaissance aircraft and bombers fly at relatively high altitudes. It's difficult to shoot them down with anti-aircraft artillery, so we'll use our surface-to-air missile forces. "Currently, our surface-to-air missile forces always fire three missiles each time they're deployed. However, not all engagements require three launches; some targets can be hit with just one. This requires our officers and soldiers to practice more and accumulate experience."

China's surface-to-air missile forces are now very cautious when launching missiles.

Whenever facing enemy aircraft, the most conservative strategy is to launch three missiles simultaneously. Now that surface-to-air missile units are transitioning to the HQ-2, Yang Quanwu believes the HQ-2's strengths and weaknesses should continue to be tested on the battlefield, while also strengthening the troops. Different tactics should be employed in different environments.

Some simple goals do not require so much caution.

It's such a waste to launch three missiles every time.

The efficiency is not high either.

"I agree." Chief of the General Staff Deng Guo nodded and said, "We don't need too many. Three or four battalions of surface-to-air missile units entering Vietnam will be fine. I heard the US B-52 strategic bombers are very aggressive in Vietnam, so it's a good opportunity to give our 'Hongqi-' a try."

Elite troops are made through fighting, not boasting.

The same goes for surface-to-air missile units. Only through experience on the battlefield can they become truly elite.

"As long as it doesn't involve a large-scale deployment of surface-to-air missile forces, I think it's OK."

Mr. He also agreed.

Mr. Peng nodded and said, "I support it too."

Tan Zhengdao: "When this group of troops enters Vietnam,

Our total number of troops in Vietnam will be around 17. Such a large force should be managed under a unified system." "Comrade Zuo Quan is already in Vietnam. We can establish a command system based on our military advisory group in Vietnam and give them full command of these troops."

General He recommended Zuo Quan to be fully responsible for China's armed forces in Vietnam.

"Comrade Zuo Quan is just the right person."

General Peng agreed.

Others also expressed no objection. Zuo Quan was a senior general, and although his "anti-dogmatism" had been criticized, he had extensive connections within the military.

He was a member of the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy, instigated the Ningdu Uprising, and spent a long time in the First Red Army. Later, he worked with General Peng, General He, and Zhang Zhongxun.

Besides, he is currently the head of the Chinese Military Advisory Group in Vietnam, so it is normal for him to transition to become China's highest military leader in Vietnam. Wei Hongjun nodded.

I agree with the suggestions of General Peng and General He.

"Secretary Wei, I think we should set up Baosheng Company as soon as possible. Don't drag this matter out."

After determining the troops going to Vietnam and the military cadres stationed in Vietnam, Zhao Lu, deputy director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and director of the Commission of National Defense Industry, spoke.

"Recent developments have shown that my country's arms import and export have grown rapidly. Regarding arms import and export, specialized departments should handle specialized matters, rather than requiring the General Armaments Department and the General Logistics Department to resolve issues every time. We should finalize arms import and export regulations as soon as possible and give Baosheng Company full responsibility for this matter."

Previously, China’s arms imports and exports were all political tasks.

This is true whether importing or exporting weapons. Consequently, internal disputes arise when weapons are imported or exported. Either the imported weapons are too expensive, or the exported weapons are too cheap.

The various military factories also had complaints. They criticized the negotiating officials for not understanding weapons prices and for not knowing how to do business. However, there was nothing that could be done about it.

China's previous arms imports and exports were largely driven by political factors. Negotiators were also temporarily assigned. Their purpose was not to negotiate price, but rather the political issues surrounding arms imports and exports.

"can."

Wei Hongjun nodded.

"My suggestion is that the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade jointly establish this company. The Ministry of Foreign Trade will provide cadres who understand foreign trade and management; the Central Military Commission will provide cadres who are familiar with our country's weapons; and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will provide cadres who are familiar with the current situation in various countries." "I will notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and then the Central Military Commission will hold a joint meeting with them to formally determine the cadre list, as well as the nature and structure of the company."

"What do you think, comrades?"

Wei Hongjun looked at General Peng and General He. Although Baosheng Company was responsible for the import and export of weapons, there were complex political issues involved. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade would definitely have to participate.

"agree."

"agree."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone agrees, then we..."

Wei Hongjun was about to make the decision when Zhao Han walked in.

He came directly to Wei Hongjun and said, "Secretary Wei, after the Egyptian delegation finished their meeting with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, someone from the delegation quietly raised with Comrade Peng Zhen whether my country could export Dongfeng surface-to-surface missiles to Egypt."

"Comrade Peng Zhen thought the matter was important, so he notified us."

Wei Hongjun knew that a delegation from Egypt recently came, consisting of representatives from the Egyptian National Assembly, to exchange views with the National People's Congress of China.

The delegation was not very high-ranking, led by the Vice Speaker of the Egyptian National Assembly. So on the Chinese side, Comrade Peng Zhen represented the National People's Congress in the talks.

Wei Hongjun didn't expect that this Egyptian delegation had other hidden purposes.

"Who is it? Who does it represent?"

"He introduced himself as the personal representative of Egyptian President Nasser. General Chen asked our ambassador to Egypt to personally confirm this with Nasser, and Nasser confirmed the matter."

Wei Hongjun did not expect that Nasser's personal representative would secretly enter China as a representative of the National Assembly.

So he said, "General Peng, this Egyptian president's personal representative is the president's special envoy. Since this involves missiles, the Military Commission should select a few people to contact him."

"it is good."

Soon, the Military Commission selected Yang Quanwu, Zhao Lu, Wang Xinting, Hong Xuezhi, and Wang Qiuyun as representatives to meet with the presidential envoy from Egypt.

I'm mainly curious about why Egypt suddenly wants to buy missiles from China. If so, how do they want to buy them? Do they just want us to sell them missiles, or do they need China to help with training?

Of course, Egypt is one of the countries within the Soviet Union's care. Will China's sale of missiles to Egypt cause dissatisfaction with the Soviet Union? Or will China's "Dongfeng-1" and

The Dongfeng-2 missile is a copy of the Soviet P missile. Do we need to inform the Soviet Union before selling it to foreign countries?

1129 The Middle East Development Military Commission did not waste any time and quickly met with Nasser's special envoy from Egypt.

Nehru, the three founders and moderators of the Non-Aligned Movement, is dead, and India has been made a dog by China. Moreover, since India sought help from the United States and the Soviet Union, it has completely lost its position in the Non-Aligned Movement.

Now only Egypt and Yugoslavia remain. However, Egypt was humiliated by Israel in the last Battle of the Suez Canal.

However, Egypt is still the leader of the Arab bloc in the Middle East, and Nasser is a very influential world politician. Therefore, China still attaches great importance to this negotiation.

After several rounds of negotiations, China roughly understood Egypt's intentions. After the preliminary negotiation results were obtained, Wei Hongjun convened a meeting of the Military Commission.

In fact, this incident was just an arms trade.

It is not enough to call a meeting of the Military Commission. But because it involves Egypt and Arab countries, the political factors behind it cannot be ignored.

If this transaction can be successfully completed, it will not only be a simple arms trade, but will also further strengthen the relationship between China and Middle Eastern countries and have a profound impact.

Yang Quanwu said, "The main reason is that our previous attack on the Zuoying military base in Taiwan was very successful, paralyzing it. The impact of this incident was far greater than we imagined. The Middle East was frightened by this type of warfare." Although Germany developed missiles during World War II and even attacked the British mainland, the missile attacks carried out by Germany at that time were not considered to be a true missile war.

Because Germany's use of missiles at the time was a haphazard attack, without a complete strategy or tactics. There was no specific idea about how to use missiles.

China's attack on Taiwan's Zuoying military port was the first time that tactical missiles were used on such a large scale to "precisely" strike tactical targets. And although there are also errors,

But overall the original goal was achieved.

Therefore, the PLA's missile attack on Zuoying Military Port attracted considerable attention worldwide. After all, even after developing missiles, how to use them remains a work in progress. However, China has already begun using missiles in actual combat. This has also attracted the attention of some wealthy individuals in the Middle East. While today's Middle Eastern oil tycoons are not as lavish as they were in the 1970s, there is a growing trend toward this.

Just like Syria, which has just had a big conflict with Egypt and has announced its withdrawal from the United Arab Republic.

Syria's oil development was relatively slow in the Middle East, with oil fields not discovered until 1956. At that time, many Middle Eastern countries were producing only tens of millions of tons. However, within just five years, thanks to Soviet technical support, Syria's annual oil exports now reach 1.6 million New Rubles, or nearly $1.8 million.

Syria's population is less than five million now, and it has just started selling oil, but its export value is so low. Nearly $200 million is not a small amount anywhere.

You can imagine the economic strength of the oil tycoons in the Middle East. Now the profits of major oil-producing countries in the Middle East from oil exports easily exceed one billion US dollars.

Oil-rich countries like Iran have already gained more than $5 billion in fiscal revenue from oil, and have become rich rapidly.

So now they are eager to arm themselves into a world-class army.

At this time, the People's Liberation Army used missiles and eliminated the Zuoying military port in just a few hours. In the eyes of the Middle Eastern tycoons, this was a completely unimaginable war mode.

What if Israel is powerful?

As long as this type of missile is equipped, it can easily strike Israel from hundreds of kilometers away. Therefore, China's ground-to-ground missiles quickly attracted the attention of the rich in the Middle East.

This is why Nadal's special envoy came to China.

"So they really want to buy our missiles?"

"Correct."

Yang Quanwu smiled and said, "Not only do they really want our missiles, but they want quite a few of them. Do you know how many they want?"

It was such a surprise that Yang Quanwu couldn't help but keep it a secret.

"Thirty?"
